About this study

This is a prospective observational study conducted across 13 hospitals. Data will be collected at three predefined time points to assess the prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices among children in pediatric intensive care units.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Children and adolescents aged 18 years or younger who have been admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for at least 72 hours as of 9:00 AM on the predefined study date at participating hospitals.

Exclusion criteria

  • No exclusion criteria. All eligible patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be included to comprehensively assess the real-world prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices and associated barriers in pediatric intensive care units.

Treatment and study plan

Acute Rehabilitation (Observed Practice)

Other

This study does not assign any interventions. It observes routine clinical practices of acute rehabilitation provided to children in pediatric intensive care units as part of standard care.

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Participants Who Received Acute Rehabilitation

    Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

    Prevalence is defined as the proportion of eligible children in the pediatric intensive care unit who received at least one session of physical therapy or occupational therapy within the 24 hours preceding each study assessment point.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Acute Rehabilitation Sessions per Participant

    Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

    The number of physical therapy or occupational therapy sessions delivered to eligible children within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point.

  2. Number of Participants by Type of Rehabilitation Intervention

    Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

    The types of rehabilitation interventions delivered within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point, including passive exercise, active exercise, positioning, mobility training, and occupational therapy interventions.

  3. Proportion of sessions Involving Assistive Devices

    Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

    The proportion of rehabilitation sessions involving assistive devices or equipment during the 24 hours preceding each assessment point.

  4. Number of Sessions by Delivery Method

    Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

    The types of rehabilitation delivery methods used within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point, including bedside therapy, in-room mobilization, and therapist-assisted mobility interventions.

  5. Odds Ratios for Factors Associated With Absence of Acute Rehabilitation

    Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

    Multivariable logistic regression analysis will be performed to evaluate clinical and organizational factors associated with the absence of acute rehabilitation delivery among eligible children in the pediatric intensive care unit. Predictor variables will include patient demographics, severity of illness, sedation status, mechanical ventilation, restraint use, ICU structure, rehabilitation protocols, and staffing resources.
